I have lost so many characters in precisely that manner. Maybe I should try to orient myself such that when I fall asleep, I don't do it on the keyboard.

Yeah. I consider it one of the great rules of Nethack: DO NOT PLAY WHEN YOU'RE TIRED. It always leads to YASD. I don't play as often now, but I tend to play better when I do, and it's a lot less frustrating, to bootIn Fantasyland these are remarkable in that they seldom or never wear out and are suitable for riding or walking in without the need of Socks. Boots never pinch, rub, or get stones in them; nor do nails stick upwards into the feet from the soles. They are customarily mid-calf length or knee-high, slip on and off easily and never smell of feet. Unfortunately, the formula for making this splendid footwear is a closely guarded secret, possibly derived from nonhumans (see Dwarfs, Elves, and Gnomes).

I used to force myself to stop every few thousand turns for a break, but that just meant I forgot what I was meant to be doing and died shortly afterwards.

When I'm too tired I 'S' and take a break. The problem is when I reload the game after a few days and I forgot what I was up to (generally between Dlvl 1 and 5), which lead to YASD.

Yeah. I try to take notes, and when I save I usually type in what I was planning on doing. When I reload the game I go through my notes and inventory so I can refresh my memory on what to be terrified of and which way I was heading. :)

Wow. Esk and Crawler said the same thing. Suggestion. Draw in the sand.

Me too, Grognor. And everyone, make sure you keep cockatriceOnce in a great while, when the positions of the stars are just right, a seven-year-old rooster will lay an egg. Then, along will come a snake, to coil around the egg, or a toad, to squat upon the egg, keeping it warm and helping it to hatch. When it hatches, out comes a creature called basilisk, or cockatrice, the most deadly of all creatures. A single glance from its yellow, piercing toad's eyes will kill both man and beast. Its power of destruction is said to be so great that sometimes simply to hear its hiss can prove fatal. Its breath is so venomous that it causes all vegetation to wither. There is, however, one creature which can withstand the basilisk's deadly gaze, and this is the weasel. No one knows why this is so, but although the fierce weasel can slay the basilisk, it will itself be killed in the struggle. Perhaps the weasel knows the basilisk's fatal weakness: if it ever sees its own reflection in a mirror it will perish instantly. But even a dead basilisk is dangerous, for it is said that merely touching its lifeless body can cause a person to sicken and die.
